So far, I am surprised by how well the M116 pastel and Colgans are doing. They will not place in top 3 by any measure, but they are getting legit votes; I thought the shape of Colgans would keep that from getting votes and I thought the blue m116 would devour most of the votes for m116. I am also surprised by how few votes the e103 has gotten.

Oh crap. I totally overlooked the Fan Craze. Good catch. I don’t know how to revise the poll. I guess bc it’s part of a game, rather intended as a collectible/to be displayed, we can say it’s not a “card” for purposes of this poll….

My vote went to the W600, but this one would be my favorite if postcards were considered. (Not mine)

Funny, that is mine, Kevin. I did not include PCs or game cards, but I guess I could have added both. I generally agree re the Rose Co- in my opinion, it is one of the best looking issues extant

e107 by far in my opinion. Then w600 and then e103 and e90-2. Something like that.

Luke - the E107 is a great card, but it does not feature the Horner photo.

+1
I completely forgot about the RPC, would be my first choice all day long, thanks Kevin.

I'm not familiar with any of the cards so I'm wondering why the E90-2 gets so many votes and the E104-2 gets almost none. They look the same to me. Am I missing something? Why such a preference for the E90-2 over the E104-2?

Not meaning to be disrespectful - But the E 90–2 reminds me of a Simpsons card

e104-2 is much more scarce than e90-2. Hardly anyone has one! additionally i presume there are many on this forum who have the e90-2...therefore they like it the best!

The E90-2 has an attractive advertising for the American Caramel Company on the back while the E104-2 has a blank back. All things being equal, I think that most collectors prefer to have advertising on the card’s reverse as apposed to it being blank.

Ahh my mistake. I thought it was just fav portrait
